sine WING non Application filed May '18,

'Be it known that I, LENNIE A; HANSON, a citizen of the United States, residin at Kirkland, in the county of King and state of Washington, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Side Wings for Windshields, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved side wing for motor vehicle wind shields and has as one of its principal objects to provide a device of this character which will successfully combine extreme structural simplicity hereinafter.

.ln the drawings: i I Figure 1 1s -a fragmentary. perspectlve view showing the wind shield of a motor with a pair of my improved wings, I

Figure 2 is a transverse sectional view particularly bringing out the manner in which the device is connected to the wind shield, and j Figure 3 is aperspective view showing device in detail.

Referring now more particularly to the drawings, I have, for convenience, shown my improved device in connection with a motor vehicle of conventional design- The wind shield of the vehicle is indicated at 10 and, as suggested in Figure 1, one of the devices is mounted at each side of the wind shield for diverting air currents or flying particles away from the occupants of the vehicle. In carrying the invention into elfect, I employ an oblongdeflector or plate 11 which is preferably formed of glass and connected to said deflector are clamps 12. .These clamps are, as particularly shown in Figure Set the P drawings, preferably provided with annular heads, fromwhich extend at substantially right angles thereto resilient U-shaped V clamp members .13. Freely fitted through wInnsHIn-ims.

1921. Serial No. 470,622.

the-inner side ofeach of said members and o1"? said clamps and throughthe plate are bolts 15 securing the clamps thereto.

Washers 16 are employed to coact with the nuts of said bolts and arranged beneath said washers as well as beneath the heads of the clamps are preferably rubber gaskets 1'? resting against opposite sides of the plate.

Coacting with the clamps is an oblong bracket link 18. As willbe observed, the clampmenibers 18 of the clamps 12 are arranged to embrace one side of the link, being held to grip the link by the bolts 14. These bolts may, of course, be adiusted to secure the desired tension upon the clamp mem-' bers and in this eonnectionit is to be ob served that said bolts will prevent accidental disengagementof the clamps from the link. Coactinp; with the opposite side of the link is a double end-ed attaching clamp 20. This clamp is formed of eon'ipanion clamp mem bers adjustably connected. by a plurality of. boltsQl, corresponding ends of said members being formed to embrace the adjacent side of the link while opposite corresponding ends ct said members are, as particu larl v shown in Figure 2 formed to embrace an end post or frame element of the wind shield 10. Consequently. by tightening the bolts 21. the clamp members will be caused to grip the wind shield post for securing the device thereon as well as also grip-the link Referring now particularly to Figure 1 of the drawings, it will be seen that the delongitudinally upon the clamps and the plates thus adjusted vertically. l accordingly provide device of highly effective design and, as will now be appreciated, a device which may be readily applied and easily adjusted to suit the desires of the user.

Having thus described the invention, What is claimed as ne is:

1. In a side Wing for Wind shields, the combination of an endless supporting link having oppositely disposed sides, a deflector plate, means connecting the plate with one side of the link for adjustment therealong,

and means for connecting the link {with a:

vehicle and adjustable along the opposite side of the link.

2. A side Wing for Wind shields including 7 ing the linkwith a vehicle, the link being endless whereby the sides and ends of the link will be held against spreading as Well as individual vibration.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
